Gutter sealing in Kirkwall
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We work on gutter joints, garage door frames and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are fascia boards with gaps between them and end caps that drip every time it rains.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, and a town like Kirkwall gets its share of wind and rain. A gap in a gutter joint, fascia trim or wall joint soon lets damp in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Kirkwall and across the Orkney Islands.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a Scottish town like Kirkwall, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you’re in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Outside joints around Kirkwall
Kirkwall is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Paterson Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Kirkwall
What guarantee comes with gutter sealing in Kirkwall?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Kirkwall for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kirkwall is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
What does gutter sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can you fit new guttering?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.

What sealant work can’t fix

Other services in Kirkwall
Do you need gutter sealing in Kirkwall?
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
Managing a site like Kirkwall Grammar School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. A neat bead closes them up.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter once clean and dry.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
